The number of undergraduate medical colleges in the nation has grown by 27.5% over the last five years, with government colleges experiencing a growth that is almost twice as high as that of private medical colleges.

36 percent more MBBS seats over five years

When compared to private colleges, the rise in government colleges for MBBS seats is more than twice as great. The overall number of undergraduate MBBS seats increased from 67,523 in 2017–18 to 91,927 in 2022–23, a gain of 24,404 seats or around 36%, during the course of five years.

Nearly 39% (35,500 seats) of the 91,127 MBBS seats available nationwide are offered by colleges in the southern states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana. Nearly 59% of the seats in the five southern states are divided between Karnataka (10,145 seats) and Tamil Nadu (10,725 seats).

Planned increases in the number of medical seats

Additionally, there are initiatives being taken to strengthen or upgrade current state government/central government medical institutes in order to boost MBBS and PG seats, which are being financed by the government at large. 75 projects have been approved as part of a central sector programme to upgrade government medical colleges through the construction of super specialised blocks.

The minister informed the Lok Sabha that the government has implemented a number of measures to expand the number of undergraduate and graduate seats, including a centrally supported programme for the development of new medical colleges by improving district/referral hospitals, within which 157 new medical colleges have already been approved and 72 are already operational.

In accordance with the central sector plan to establish new AIIMS, 22 AIIMS have received approval, and undergraduate programmes have begun in 19 of them.

1:854 doctor-to-patient ratio

The minister of state for health, stated that India’s doctor-to-population ratio of 1:854 is higher than the benchmark of 1:100 set by the World Health Organization. In addition, she stated that there are 13 lakh allied healthcare professionals and 34.33 lakh registered nurses nationwide.

According to her, the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions (NCAHP) Act, 2021, was passed by the government in order to quickly increase the number of allied medical seats in the nation. Its provisions also call for the notification of an interim commission.

    Client Testimonial

    MBBS Abroad is a big decision and your success depends upon the honesty of your consultant. It is a long process starting from choosing the right college to reaching there at college door step and finally studying there for next 5-6 years. You are in a new country without many old friends. We were sure to approach a consultant who is based out of our district only so that not only during admission but for next 6 years, we can have smooth interactions. So, we approached GKWorks as they have a branch in Saharanpur. As we anticipated, there are lot of things to be done during admission process that goes for 3-4 months. At every step, it was useful for us to have our consultant who was only 20 minutes’ drive from our home. We were able to discuss everything face to face any day and thus were able to have easy process.

    Best thing about Vivek Gupta Sir is his selfless counselling. As I am already a BSC/ MSC, he suggested me to go to Philippines as I was able to get straight admission into MD and this finishes my entire course in 4 years flat. In any other country, it would have taken by 5.5-6 years. Ms Kanimojhi in Chennai office of GKWorks was equally supportive in coordination regarding documents, departure and all other formalities.

    We live 100 Km’s away from Varanasi. The internet connection in our town is very weak and my parents are not that educated. For us, understanding the word RTGS was also very difficult. Thanks to Amit Pandey Sir, who is Gkworks Varanasi incharge, he helped us to do all small things. Going with us to get forex to helping us doing RTGS for fee payment, he was always there with us. He only helped us to apply for passport online and went with us to passport office Varanasi. Such support at ground level was provided by GKworks team both in Varanasi and Delhi.

    My parents were not very comfortable to send me abroad especially my mother as I am the only son of my parents. I really wanted to become a doctor and thus approached Hemant Mishra Sir, director of Bareilly branch of GKWorks. He went out of his way to convince my mother. He would have come 5 times to my home, invited us to his office and home 10 times before my mother was finally convinced. It is only due to Hemant Sir in Bareilly that I am pursuing my course today. I wish GKworks and especially Bareilly branch all the very best to help many more students for their life dreams.
